Long hot days
We'll be catchin' the rays
(oh baby) long hot days
We'll be catchin' the rays
You know my tape deck is blastin'
My car's fast
When school lets out
And the summer's here
We'll have some time for the sun
Throw my notebooks out
And put my car in gear
'cause we'll be havin' some fun
Drivin' around
(long hot days we'll be catchin' the rays)
Drivin' around
(long hot days we'll be catchin' the rays)
You know my tape deck is blastin'
My car's fast,
With my girl by my side
We can go for a ride
To find a place we can dance
And when it gets real dark
We can stop in the park
And have a backseat romance
Drivin' around
(long hot days we'll be catchin' the rays)
Drivin' around
(long hot days we'll be catchin' the rays)
You know my tape deck is blastin'
My car's fast,
I'm drivin' around, yeah
I'll be waitin' all through the year
Just to get you alone with nobody near
Baby don't be late
'cause I just can't wait
All I wanna do is make love to you
With my girl by my side
We can go for a ride
To find a place we can dance
And when it gets real dark
We can stop in the park
And have a backseat romance, yeah
Drivin' around
(long hot days we'll be catchin' the rays)
Drivin' around
(long hot days we'll be catchin' the rays)
You know my tape deck is blastin'
My car's fast,
I'm drivin' around, oh yeah
Drivin' around
(long hot days we'll be catchin' the rays)
Drivin' around
(long hot days we'll be catchin' the rays)
You know my tape deck is blastin'
My car's fast,
I'm drivin' around
(long hot days we'll be catchin' the rays)
Drivin' around
(long hot days we'll be catchin' the rays)
Drivin' around
(long hot days we'll be catchin' the rays)
Mama, we'll be drivin' around, and around and around
We'll be drivin' around
